Papagayo Costa Rica Fishing

Welcome to Papagayo Rooster Fishing,
The gulf of Papagayo in Costa Rica has some of the best Inshore Fishing in the world and especially for the famous roosterfish - rooster or rooster fish, doesn't matter how you call it; however, of course we fish for other species such as: dorado, tuna, cubera snapper and seasonal grouper and read snapper.

Our captains and mates are local people with a large experience fishing these waters. We have been fishing here since 25-30 years ago; firstly as commercial fishermen and later as sport fishermen due the arrival of much tourism to our region.

WE ARE BOATS OWNERS!!!, so why not to book with us and save some money and headaches when you vacation in Papagayo Costa Rica. Each boat captain and crew will make all what they can do to reach the best fishing places and to catch the fish you are looking for.
